BOOK NAME: All the Lovely Bad Ones
AUTHOR: Mary Downing Hahn

Have you ever taken a trip and stayed at a place that was kind of creepy? Well guess what, the Fox Hill Inn is that kind of place! You know the type of place I’m talking about; the one with a run down look, creaky doors, windows that can’t open, big chandeliers, and strange noises. Nothing says “welcome home” like a mysterious figure in the courtyard!

The welcoming group is actually a team of paranormal investigators trying to find the source of all this strangeness. I guess it’s just dumb luck that Corey and Travis get to join them by spending their summer at this inn run by their grandma. They are there because their parents are gone for the summer. Corey and Travis started the summer at camp, but got kicked out for playing hooky and starting food fights. They weren’t that close with their grandma and she didn’t seem like your typical cookie-baking type. She was friendly enough though, and allowed them to explore the inn.

The brother and sister are pranksters and like to scare the guests by doing things such as banging on windows and doors. But things get really interesting when suddenly it’s not them making the strange noises. Apparently they’ve managed to arouse some unwanted guests, the resident ghosts! As you can imagine, their summer vacation goes down hill from there. I don’t want to give away the ending, but it turns out that Corey and Travis are pretty good at solving mysteries. So give it a read–if you dare!

    Looks really cool!

    This reminds me of one of the R.L.Stine books I read a long time ago

    I think it was called Ghost Beach

    I loved it

    I’m sure I’ll love this too

    Ghost, physic teams, pranks, what’s not to like? Anyway it souds good, but the plot really is not captivating me. For those who do not like too much suspense and overall spookiness, I have heard that this book is not too scary.

    sembalion, my advice would be to research wolf behaviors, and the type of environment surrounding your type of wolf. Also many authors write books about writing, so you could see if your favorite author has anything out. I have read Writing Magic a book for kids on writing by Gloria Whelan. Hope this helps!

    @semballuion- some ideas
    *the wolf could be the best at something, and half to rely on someone else to get something and it all go downhill from there..
    *romeo and juliet situation :)

    Sembalion- First, THE WARRIORS SERIES RULES!!!! It’s my favorite series, apart from Harry Potter:).
    I’ll post an idea for your story if I get one….I’m always absorbing all these ideas for a story of my own, but it never gets down on paper:(.
    Anyway…..I’m thinking…..

    I dont think I would be scared I dont get scared easily but I just dont read ghost books thats not what im into like what do you get from this kind of book it doesnt give you allot to think about. Or cool information. some of these are just dumb thats just my opinion of course . I dont want to offend anyone . But I dont believe in ghosts so I dont see the point in reading about them. lol
